| Description | The author of the present article demonstrates the problem of the political and academic order in literary criticism – postsecularism ad ekphrasis – also at the example of his own research. He deals with the general problems of the secular and postsecular/postpostsecular, but mainly with the specific features of the Russian cultural and literary development characterized by the conception of the pre-post effect/paradox (the imperfect imitation of Western models leading to new artistic revelations) and by the unfinished secularization the consequence of which is the permanent presence of sacral elements. In Russian literature there are three stages of postsecularism connected with Romanticism, Modernism and Postmodernism. In the second part of his study he demonstrates the realization of ekphrasis in the context of a cultural area of a region of the Czech Republic – Western Moravia, at the works of a goup of poets and prose writers of the modernist and avantgarde orientation, of different ideological conceptions. The contradictory, often also paradoxical material proved various shapes and forms of ekphrasis and the diversity of its functions: the ekphrasis as a connecting link of several ideological currents and poetological varieties from the modernist decadence through the symbolistic modernism up to modernist avantgarde and religious, Christian, Catholic poetry, applying the models of modernism. |
